The beneficial effects of beer

The positive effects of beer on the body could fill a large book, but it’s also good for the spirit. Normally it’s drunk in company, good company that is, and that’s something not to be undervalued.

But let’s get more to the point. As we know, beer is a rich brew and it’s not for nothing that it was historically known as both food and drink, referred to both as ‘liquid bread’ and as a not-unpleasant medicine. Unlike many other antique medicines, beer still maintains its value when subjected to scientific evalution. It contains active substances such as maltose, glucose, starch, carbon dioxide, active essential hops and beer ferments, practically all the mineral vitamins of the B group, salts and amino acids. All these substances, when taken in moderation, guarantee beneficial effects for the body.
